Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome back to the podcast. My friend, hope you're all enjoying the day, or I hope you're enjoying the evening. I wanted to talk to today. Not only do the most amazing people that are listening, there would be you. However, I wanted to talk today about a certain subject that I found really interesting. And that subject is the crossroads of conformity.
Sounds like a mouthful of words. Doesn't it. Let me try and explain exactly what it is I'm thinking about. It seems to me that humanity is at the crossroads, the crossroads of conformity, a cursory glance back in history. Be it the history of your life, a history of your parents' life or history in general, regardless of how true that history is.
One of the major flaws of humanity is also its greatest asset in that is the emotional drivers that make us human love, passion, hate anger, animosity, jealousness, all of these powerful emotions that we have. These, this irrational exuberance, the inability to see things clearly the pathway to abstraction all of these things, our inability to see the opposite sex at times clearly as an individual, as an equal, our inability to see things clearly because our mind is clouded with emotions.
Be it lust or desire, be it guilt or animosity. These are the things that hold us back from truly embracing one another as part of the same organism. When you listen to policymakers being in the past or the day, they have this grand idea for this utopian world view of We, we can unite the world and we can extract a resources and distribute them fairly.
And it's so naive to me, don't get me wrong. It's beautiful. It's just naive. If you listen to the meditations of Marcus or really is, you will see, even then he was speaking about the issues with emotions, how it clouds your judgment, it makes it unable for you to accomplish your goals.
At times that driver those drivers, these tools of creativity, these ideas of inspiration, these methodologies for moving forward or at a point where they can be corrected. If you look at them as if there is a problem, or if there is a disease, and that is the crossroads, I'm talking about artificial intelligence, although I don't think that's the correct term, or I think it's a poor choice of words to describe the idea of computers being, thinking entities.
They are without emotion. They are without the drivers of humanity. It, as much as people want to get rid of those, some people would like they get rid of them. Not all people as much as some of these policy makers or, or even those of us who live day to day in our not making conscious choices as much as technology would like us to be seen that way.
I'm not sure if I'm saying that, right, we are not robots. We are not computers. However, it is possible for us to move towards an evolutionary change without emotions. It is possible for us to evolve into a less critical thinking, less evolved set of organisms.
I think that is what technology is doing to us or better yet. That is the fork in the road. And in which the economic model of technology is pushing us and Britain a little something. And I'll let me know kind of, I'm trying to flesh it out here, but let me just read you this rough draft have kind of what I have put down.
We are on an evolutionary. We are at an evolutionary turning point. As far as human emotions go, it is true that our emotions, our in fact, the roadblocks that stop us from grand utopian dreams, grand utopian dreams o
